Registration

REGISTRATION TO THE CIRCUIT AND MAILING OF THE PILGRIM’S KIT ARE STILL SUSPENDED IN 2021 DUE TO COVID-19 PUBLIC HEALTH RESTRICTIONS. NEVERTHELESS, YOU CAN DISCOVER THE CIRCUIT THROUGH “DAILY WALKS”.

IMPORTANT : Before registering, it is important that you fully understand what you can expect from an independent long distance walking tour and that you read our Liability Waiver Clause carefully.

To foster harmony amongst fellow walkers, residents, merchants and innkeepers along the Circuit, we ask you read and apply our Code of Ethics .

Registration

Once registered to walk the Circuit, you will receive Pilgrim’s Kit by mail. Most of the documentation it contains is in French, but English-speaking pilgrims will find it easy to use nevertheless. The kit contains:

A paper map of the Circuit;
A passport – for collecting stamps and signatures along the way to create a tangible memory of your experience;
A parking ticket that allows you to park your car at the orchard of the Saint-Benoît-du-Lac Abbey, free of charge;
A medallion identifying you as a Circuit de l’Abbaye Pilgrim (providing another memento of your journey);
The Memphremagog Tourist Guide (a bilingual publication);
A directory listing available accommodations along the Circuit, updated for the current season;
A sticker proclaiming that you have walked the Circuit de l’Abbaye – to be proudly displayed!

Your registration is valid for the entire 2020 season, leaving you all the flexibility you need to plan your journey. Lodging costs vary between $40 and $200 per night, depending on the experience you are seeking.

The $40 non-refundable registration fee is your contribution to this long-distance walking project. If walking as a couple or in a group, we ask that everyone registers.

You should receive your Pilgrim’s Kit within 10 business days (allow for longer delays outside Canada). At present, it is not possible to register in person.
